Y.E.S. (Your Essential Service) Program
Active parental involvement is vital to Rock Springs Christian Academy’s success, and the Y.E.S. Program has been established by our school board to encourage every family to participate in building a thriving school community.
Program Requirements:
- Each family is required to complete 24 hours of volunteer service per year.
- Single-parent families are required to complete 12 hours per year.
- At least half of these hours must be completed through participation in school fundraisers to support our programs and special events.
- A fee of $20 per hour will be charged for any unfulfilled hours at the end of the year.
Families must turn in all YES Hours and any related receipts to yes@rsca.info. Each family will have a log for the year, and Mrs. Tracy Bates in the Middle School will record all completed hours.
Your service helps make many of our programs and events possible and directly benefits our students. We value your time and appreciate your dedication to our school community.
Volunteer Opportunities:
There are many ways to earn Y.E.S. hours throughout the year, including helping with school events, assisting teachers, supporting athletics, or serving at fundraisers. Watch for announcements about opportunities in newsletters and emails, or contact the school office for current needs.

Additional Guidelines for Y.E.S. Hours
- Hours do not carry over from year to year; they must be completed within the school year they are intended for.
- Y.E.S. hours may not be shared between families.
- Volunteering for the church and Annual Fund donations do not count toward Y.E.S. hours.
